I can't let her go, not now, she's not like anyone I've ever met before. How the fuck can I go back to my club and running guns knowing she's out here somewhere, running from that mother fucker who if he doesn't kill her will do fuck knows what to her when he gets her and he will. She can't keep this up, constantly running, constantly being hurt, shot, stabbed and beaten. It'll catch up on her eventually and he'll be there to take her.
I could tell from her breathing that she's sleeping, I know she didn't sleep last night.
"Finally man, was that her? Did I find the right Scarlett? Is she really only 18?" Circuit bombards me with questions as soon as he answers my call
"Yeah, that's her. I'm bringing her back with me, we'll be there tonight." I say into my cell phone quietly as not to wake Scarlett
"Oh man, I don't want to be there when Killer finds out, what about her psycho ex boyfriend?" He asks
"Yeah about that, I need you to find everything on Aleksandr Mikhailov. That's her ex, I want to know everything so that if he tracks her down I can take him out easily."
"Oh man, I don't need to even google that mother fucker to know who he is. He's Russian mafia dude. That's gonna bring a whole world of shit." Circuit replies
"Just find everything you can on him, I'll handle the rest and don't tell Killer until I can tell him myself."
"You got it man, I wouldn't want to tell him anyway." Circuit finishes before ending the call. Yeah, I know Killer is gonna have my ass for this, but hopefully Cordelia can talk some sense into him, she's a sucker for helping people and I know she'll want to help Scarlett.
The final leg of the journey was the most peaceful yet, I woke Scarlett up for food before finally arriving home. I pull up the long driveway and stop the truck out front of the house
"Is this your place? Looks kind of abandoned." Scarlett says as we climb out of the truck
"It was my Moms, I never did anything with it, but I don't want to sell it." I say as I look over the front of the house. It's a single storey building and the once bright white and green exterior are covered in overgrown vines that wrap around the windows and up over the roof.
"It's cute." Scarlett smiles as she picks up her bags and heads for the front porch. I unlock the front door and reach to the side to turn on the lights
"No ones been in here for a while, but I figure it's a bed for the night." I say as Scarlett drops her bags and scans the open plan living area
"If you saw some of the places I've slept this last year, this is a palace." She laughs as she walks through the kitchen
"My bedroom is the second door on the left and my Moms old room is at the end." I say as we head to the other side of the house
"Are you staying here too?" She asks as I open the door to the bathroom
"No I gotta get to the clubhouse and check in, but I'll be back in the morning." I reply and I notice the hint of disappointment that crosses her face.
"Ok, so I'll see you in the morning then." She says as she slips off her leather jacket. Part of me wants to stay and repeat what we did in the motel room this morning but Killer is going to be pissed at me already, never mind if I got back and didn't go straight to him to tell him what's going on.
I head back out to my truck and make the short journey to the clubhouse
"The prodigal son has returned." Circuit says as I walk into the bar
"Yeah yeah, Killer here or he up at his house?" I ask as I look around
"I text him he's on his way down. Where's your hot little jailbait?" He smirks looking behind me for Scarlett
"She was 18 before I met her asshole and she's staying somewhere safe." I reply
"Well let's see if she still wants to ride old man dick when she realises you're old enough to be her dad. Maybe something younger could tempt her." Must not punch brother in face I tell myself mentally I know he's just trying to push my buttons.
"I've been trying to get a hold of you for fucking days. I think we need to talk in my office." I turn and see Killer standing in the doorway, definitely pissed at me.
"I know you've had Circuit searching for something but he's been fucking tight lipped and Cordelia may think she can keep shit from me but I know she knows something too. As the president I should be the first to know, not third, so I suggest you get talking." Killer says as he takes his seat behind his desk.
"I followed her, just like we said, I kept my distance, didn't get involved, she had no idea I was there. She went to Dallas, hustled some pool and then won $1000 in a strip club. When I followed her to a club after that she got jumped by all these guys, so I stepped in."
"So you saved her from a group of guys we have no idea who they are."
"Well that's the thing, she has a complicated history with the main guy and he's been sending men after her, that's why she's on the run. Circuit is just looking for information on him, but I wasn't wearing my cut and the truck is plain black so the club won't be involved."
"So after you rescued the girl she suck your dick and you ride off into the sunset?" He asks and this is the part I know he really won't like
"Actually, I got shot and Scar took care of me, I want to protect her from this guy so I brought her back and she's staying at my moms house." It's better to just spit it out and take the beating, he'll only find out anyway.
"Are you fucking kidding me. She is running from some asshole who is sending hired guns after her and you've brought her right here, to club territory. Who even is this guy?"
"Aleksandr Mikhailov, Circuit thinks he's Russian mafia, but I've got him looking into it." He really isn't going to like this
"So when the Russian mafia comes sniffing for his girl you want the club to protect her, is that right? After everything this club has been through with The Devils Coyotes and before them The Sons of Satan, that wasn't enough for you, you want to take on the Russian mafia now too?"
"I'm not expecting my club to protect her but I have to. I can't let her keep running from this guy who hurt her and continues to hurt her." I reply, it's true, I love my club and I don't want them hurt because of me but I have to help Scar, I care about her too much now.
"I'm gonna have to put this to church Knuckles, you get that. The club will vote on whether we risk the attention from the mafia or that girl has got to go." I only nod and stand
"Understood, but you have to understand I'm going to protect this girl with or without my clubs blessing and I know that if it was Cordelia, Indigo, Izzy or Sarah my brothers would do the same."
"Those are old ladies Knuckles, not some girl you fucked once, or a club whore." He replies
"She's not just a fuck Killer and I'm going to keep her safe." I end the conversation there and head out of Killers office in search of Circuit so I can get the intel on Aleksandr.
A/N: hi guys, hope you're enjoying the story so far. So yesterday was my due date and no sign of biker baby yet. I'm trying to get this story finished before the arrival but if the updates suddenly stop that'll be why. Xxx
